I have 6.5GB chromium debug build directory shared through NFS. When I try building it on FreeBSD i386 guest running on the same host where NFS server is, it takes 11 sec of intense NFS before it begins to compile. But when I try building the same directory from another FreeBSD i386 machine on the 100Mb LAN, it begins to build after only 3 sec of intense NFS. Same NFS operations take 11 sec from the local vbox guest and 3 sec from the remote host over 100Mb link. This is very strange, local NFS should be blazing fast, and I see the opposite picture. For some reason local NFS is crippled. Anybody can explain why is this happening? 9.0 STABLE vbox-4.1.12 Yuri PS I removed lockf operation from the Makefile since lockf fails over NFS
